Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a medical imaging technique that captures detailed 3D images of teeth, bones, and surrounding structures. Unlike traditional X-rays, CBCT uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to create a single, comprehensive snapshot of an area, which helps doctors better visualize complex anatomical features. This technology is particularly useful in dentistry, oral surgery, and orthodontics, as it allows for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. CBCT scans are quick, often involve lower radiation exposure than conventional CT scans, and provide invaluable information for effective patient care.
